I see we're supposed to have a new roommate in Paj-Enas. Welcome to Econtra!

...Um, Rouge? I think that means you have to go back to your own dorm now. I'm sorry! And three to a room would, uh, be too many, I think, so... Unless you have another idea, because that's sort of someone else's assigned room now.

There are other rooms available for whoever it is, I'm sure.

[her_dying_wish]

That's not really the point.

[bowyourheadslow]

What's wrong with it?

[her_dying_wish]

It's not that I don't like Rouge, it's just she could just as easily go somewhere else, too, instead of the new roommate...

[bowyourheadslow]

...You're safer with Rouge around. I don't know who this new person is.

[her_dying_wish]

So? I don't know a lot of these people here, but I greet them and meet them anyway.

[bowyourheadslow]

That's different from living with them.

[her_dying_wish]

But you're fine with me being in this dorm with the other two people you don't know.

You know, I don't really know Rouge, I only trusted her because she's a friend of yours. How would I really know if it's safer with her?

[bowyourheadslow]

... I try and stay with you as much as possible. I appreciate having Rouge around as well, in case I can't be there all the time. As for your other roommates, I've been watching closely, and they are rarely around.

Allowing someone new in will only complicate things greatly.

[her_dying_wish]

How?

[bowyourheadslow]

If I can't be around for some reason, and if someone new means Rouge isn't here, you'd be left on your own.

[her_dying_wish]

And you don't think I can't take care of myself for any length of time?

[bowyourheadslow]

...

There are so many people here who would hurt you without a thought, just for the fun of it. For all I know, the new roommate could be one of those people. And no, you can't defend yourself against someone like that.

[her_dying_wish]

It was a yes or no question, Shadow. Yes, you think I can take care of myself for an indeterminate length of time, or no, you don't think I can take care of myself for an indeterminate length of time. But from your response, I'm guessing the answer's no.

[bowyourheadslow]

I don't w- ...

It's never that simple. Especially not with the sort of people who are brought to this place.

[her_dying_wish]

I have made other friends around here that would gladly help and/or protect me, you know.
